In January 2024, Andrei Timonin was also subjected to administrative arrest for distributing “extremist materials.”
First, in April 2023, he was detained under an administrative article allegedly for "propaganda or public display, production, distribution of Nazi symbols or attributes." After that, a criminal case was opened.
It is known that in March 2023, the man published a video in support of Ukraine on his TikTok account with just over a thousand subscribers, in which Lukashenko was also harshly criticized. The video is currently unavailable. It is known about the man that he is divorced and works as a car mechanic.
On 01.02.2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
He was scheduled to be released on July 15, 2025.
According to the indictment, Anna posted offensive comments about Lukashenko A.G. and other government officials and law enforcement officials in several Telegram channels throughout 2021. On July 10, 2023, Anna will be tried again under the article for "insult".
In June 2023, Kondratenko was returned from the Gomel women's penal colony IK-4 to the Mogilev prison to stand trial for a second criminal case. This time, she was charged with a comment on the Telegram channel "Punishermen of Belarus" regarding Andrei Bagrayonok, a traffic police inspector of the Svetlogorsk District Department of Internal Affairs. The post about him appeared on September 27, 2021, and Kondratenko left a comment on September 28.
Anna's second sentence was 1 year of imprisonment and a fine of 50 basic units.
By absorbing a less severe punishment with a more severe one, Kondratenko was left with the same term of 3 years of imprisonment in a general regime colony. In both criminal cases, the woman now owes the state more than 5 thousand Belarusian rubles.
The woman died six months after her release from cancer, which she had been diagnosed with in the colony in Gomel. According to former political prisoners , Anna did not receive any parcels or packages. "Her mother is elderly, retired, it was hard for her, so we thought about how to help her ourselves." Despite her serious illness, Kondratenko was not released early. Moreover, the woman was taken from the colony to a pretrial detention center again and tried again under Article 369 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
Pavel was convicted of calling 102 and speaking out about Lukashenko and the officer on duty who took the call. On July 9, 2021, after the verdict was announced, he was taken into custody right in the courtroom.
During the investigation, after operational actions were carried out, Pavel got his phone back, but he sold it, thereby getting rid of the material evidence. This became the basis for initiating an additional criminal case under the article "Illegal actions in relation to property subject to inventory or seizure."
According to human rights activists, Pavel was released in July 2022, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
